Review: The Naked and Famous - Passive Me, Aggressive You

'Passive Me, Aggressive You' is the debut album from indie rock outfit The Naked and Famous.  It made quite an impact upon its 2010 release with the lead single 'Young Blood' which is, quite a song.  It's songs like 'Young Blood', 'Punching In A Dream' (which sounds suspiciously similar to MGMT's 'Kids'), 'Girls Like You' and 'Jilted Lovers' that really make this record what it is. 'Eyes' is another good song that has quite a nice 80's vibe. The remainder of the songs are either alright or really quite bad.  The have either boring synth lines or harmonies that are in a word, annoying.  But just like most albums, you have to take the good with the bad and this one is predominantly good.

7.5/10
